"The 40-year-old nuclear reactor facing a possible meltdown in Fukushima was originally scheduled to go out of commission in February but had its operating licence extended another 10 years."


Wow. Positive spin: So the facility was recently inspected and was in safe shape to continue operating for a long time, so the safety measures are probably working as designed right now.

Negative spin: Just as the anti nuke groups are claiming, Tepco and the govt have colluded to hide gross mishandling of normal safety procedures, leaving us in a situation with unknown dangers.

I'm hoping the reality is in the middle.
